Original Pinoy music (OPM) singer-composer Ogie Alcasid is set to hold a benefit concert dedicated to Filipino music and in celebration of his 50th birthday.

Alcasid also dedicated the concert to child-focused humanitarian agency World Vision and its advocacy campaign “It Takes a World to End Sexual Exploitation against Children.”

“For years, Alcasid has been a staunch advocate and ambassador for World Vision, a nongovernment organization assisting over 75,000 children nationwide,” World Vision said in a statement on Wednesday.

The musical event will also feature artists including Angeline Quinto, Basti Artadi, Davey Langit, Erik Santos, Inigo Pascual, Jaya, Kyla, Lara Maigue, Leila Alcasid, Lovi Poe, Men and Music, Solenn Heussaff, and Yeng Constantino.
